Skip the midday heat and hit the Tschudi complex before 10am to avoid the tour bus crowds. These sprawling clay walls feel like a labyrinth built for giants. Spend two hours walking the carved corridors, but skip the local guides unless you want a heavy history lesson; just wander the perimeter instead. Combine this with a quick stop in Huanchaco for fresh ceviche and surf views after you finish the dusty trek.
